Movie Title: Shanghai Knights Shanghai Knights is available for streaming or downloading. |
Jackie Chan and Owen Wilson reprise their hit roles from Shanghai Noon for another go around of odd couple-buddy kung fu action-comedy to solid results.
THE STORY:
After receiving word from his sister Lin (Asian Superstar Fann Wong) that their father was killed and the Imperial Seal their family was sworn to protect was stolen, Chon Wang reunites with Roy O’Bannon and heads to England to avenge his father’s murder and recover the Imperial Seal. Along the way our heroes find help in the form of a young street thief and a “Scotland Yard detective with a penchant for deduction” and uncover a deadly plot that will change the course of history of both Britain and China if successful. Supporting stories include Roy’s growing infatuation with Lin and Jackie playing “overprotective big brother.”
THE ANALYSIS:
Like in the Rush Hour series, all the charm and chemistry between Chan and his buddy (in this case Wilson) is preserved. The pair work and play off one another well and it shines through. Wilson’s hilarious, laid back delivery style again steals the show and even though he is aging Chan STILL delivers the goods action wise with his trademarked innovative, highly choreographed and amazing fight scenes.
THE SEQUEL:
Like in other “franchises” of late, this particular sequel does borrow and recycle bits from the first installment but does so without making the bits “old” or REALLY feel borrowed. Most notable of the borrowing is the “homage” to history with character name revelations (one REALLY obvious), one not-so-obvious. The other bits of course center around Roy and his usual want for women and the “odd couple” chemistry between Roy and Chon.
BEST SCENES:
- Rescuing Roy from certain death by water
- Sheep scene
- New York hotel fight scene
- Street battle
- Secret room battle
- The End of Credit Bloopers
THE VERDICT:
Overall, fans of the first movie, and Jackie fans in general, will be pleased with this second outing. All the charm you expect from a Chan buddy comedy is still here and the action is as solid as ever. In all you get all the goods you look for in an action-comedy: kick ass fight scenes (the street fight with the umbrella was particularly sweet), solid humor (most of the bits are pretty darn funny) and a pretty nice story of two friends (you can almost feel for Roy when Jackie tells Lin about Roy’s “goods.”).
In all, this movie came up just at the right time for this time of year considering all the problems going around now. It was the perfect two hour diversion from all the current troubles of the world. Hopefully they’ll be another sequel, or we’ll just have to wait for Rush Hour 3.
Highly Recommended
I am a BIG fan of action films (Lord Of The Rings, Star Wars, Rocky etc.) And I LOVE comedies(Just Married, Riding In Cars With Boys, Bubble Boy etc.) The first time I saw an Owen Wilson was in ANOTHER Jackie Chan film (Around The World In 80 Days, sorry..I’m a MR fan also, er…) But I thought the Wilson brothers were awesomely funny as the Wright Bros. in it…So, within a couple months I was able to face “Shanghai Knights” despite the bad reviews. What caught my eye first was the men in this film, the HOT men in this film. Like Owen Wilson ( cute smile), Aidan Gillian (cute everything), & of course, Tom Fisher (He’s soooo innocent). The next thing I loved was the the action, this movie has really AWESOME battle scenes (The battle in London Streets & the swordfight between Chon Wang & Lord Nelson Rathbone). Okay…If you haven’t figured out that I’m a girl by now, then your crazy. The next thing I loved was the tender friendship (and I know people are going to say I’m crazy) between Roy & Artie (Okay, just laugh!) But it’s true! The final thing that I liked (like every girl fan watching this film) is the romance between Chon’s little sister Ling & Roy (awww…L’moure). There is also some very instresting scenes in this film that stand out (namely the scene where the orphan boy reveals himself as a young Charlie Chaplin). The bloopers at the end of this movie are realllly funny (Did you see Owen’s face when he dropped the sword? Ha-ha!)! All I am saying is that this movie is good historically, emotionally, comically & romantically. Just drop in & rent this movie (for Owen’s sake…?)
